Configuration

Command-line options

• -h, --help: Print the command line options.
• -o, --output FMT: Output format: simple, full, clj-kondo. Defaults to full.
• -q, --quiet: Print no suggestions, only return exit code.
• --[no-]parallel: Run Splint in parallel. Defaults to true.

Output styles

simple: A description of the file path, line and column within the file, the name of the rule, and the message of the rule.

test/clj/game/core/say_test.clj:18:15 [lint/eq-zero] - Use `zero?` instead of recreating it.

full: A description of the file path, line and column within the file, the name of the rule, and the message of the rule. And then the existing form and the suggested/replaced form demonstrating the necessary change.

test/clj/game/core/say_test.clj:18:15 [lint/eq-zero] - Use `zero?` instead of recreating it.
(= 0 (get-counters (refresh pb) :advancement))
Consider using:
(zero? (get-counters (refresh pb) :advancement))

clj-kondo: A description of the file path, line and column within the file, the word warning, and the message of the rule.

test/clj/game/core/say_test.clj:18:15: warning: Use `zero?` instead of recreating it.

Configuration file

All of the above command-line options and the rules options can be defined in a .splint.edn file at the root of the project.

The format of the file is an edn map. Keys must be symbols and any rules configuration must be fully-qualified:

{parallel true
 lint/eq-nil {:enabled false}}

Some rules have specific options or styles that can be set. These are detailed in the full rule pages.

Inline

A single rule can be disabled in the following form with #_:splint/disable:

#_:splint/disable (+ 1 x)

Entire genres of rules and specific rules can be disabled in the same manner by using the map form:

#_{:splint/disable [style lint/plus-one]} (do (+ 1 x))

This will disable all style rules and the specific lint/plus-one rule in the following form. The inline rule doesn't apply to any further forms, so there's no need for a #_:splint/enable like in other linters.

Merging options

When identifying whether to apply a given rule to a form, the provided sources of configuration are merged: Command line options override .splint.edn, and inline options override command line options.
